94 Cobra Pace Car, Tranny probs

[Robuilt]

i just picked up a 94 cobra pace car. ill get pics up soon.

i got a GREAT deal on it.

it has a couple of issues but this one is a keeper.

the most important issue is the tranny grinds a bit going into 3rd and 4th. you can get away from the grinding if you shift it just right when the tach is sweeping down past 2k rpm.

i have had the car just a day or two and have zero time to really work on it.

i know it has an aftermarket clutch but the seller really doesnt know what kind or specs.

so this weekend ill be going over the entire car looking for issues to fix but wanted to address this asap.

Any ideas or directions fellas?

Synchros are bad.

VERY common, especially 3rd gear with T5's.

If you are gonna be hard on it at all and have the means, swap to a used tremec 3550 or a TKO. If not, do a simple rebuild on it.

My thoughts on the syncros. if so, ill just rebuild it. this will be a pampered car anyway
